Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 694 Farewell to Dragon City

Boss Luo had been squatting there with his head down, not moving or making a sound, ever since he was handcuffed.

His son also sensed something was wrong at this moment. His anger disappeared, and he stood there blankly, seemingly lost in thought.

The men brought by Director Liu and Officer Huang went upstairs and searched Boss Luo's house again, finding Shi Jing's clothes and belongings in a box in the master bedroom. Everything in the refrigerator was moved to the freezer, and several officers worked together to lift it down, immediately loading it into a car and taking it back to the office. This thing couldn't be powered off; it was evidence.

Three of the veteran police officers in the criminal investigation team vomited, and the others didn't look too good either. The psychological attack was simply too much.

After taking the evidence away, Director Liu finished his cigarette, stood up, stretched his limbs, and said, "Alright, everyone go back now. Xiao Wei, rest for a couple of days, don't be too tense. I've taken the person back. Xiao Lu, bring me a report tomorrow."

Lu said, "Xiao Wei and Xiao Liu handled everything from start to finish. Lao Huang and I just came over tonight to help out. Let Xiao Wei write the report."

Liu Ting glanced at Xiao Wei and said, "It's no use him writing it down. I know what I'm doing. Come over early tomorrow and get the handover done. It's late tonight, so you should all go home and get some rest."

Two detectives went over to take the person away, and Chief Huang handed them the keys.

Xiao Wei said, "Forget about his son. We only handcuffed him to prevent him from acting impulsively. He should be calm now. Are you still agitated?"

Mr. Luo's son glanced at his father, who was hanging his head and remaining silent, and asked Xiao Wei, "What's wrong with my dad?"

Xiao Wei said, "Murder. Lao Luo, is there anything you want to say to your son? Hurry up."

The police officers untied Lao Luo from the heating pipe, pulled him to his feet, and handcuffed him. The old man's expression remained calm; he showed no panic or fear, but rather a sense of composure. He glanced at his son and said, "Live a good life, don't break the law."

A young detective looked at Lao Luo and suddenly asked, "Is it good?"

Luo paused for a moment, then said, "The top is a bit greasy, but the bottom is alright."

Watching Lao Luo being led into the car, Liu Ting also got in, waved goodbye, and drove off. Xiao Luo stood blankly at the entrance of the convenience store, staring in the direction the car had gone. Xiao Wei patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't just stand there, hurry up and pack your things. Come to the office tomorrow, and we'll get you some paperwork to change your license. You still have to live your life."

Xiao Luo said blankly, "How could someone kill someone like that? What happened?" Tears streamed down her face as she leaned against the door frame of the convenience store, staring blankly outside.

Xiao Wei shook his head and walked outside the convenience store. Lu said, "Alright, you can go straight home. The three of us will go back in one car. You can rest at home for a few days. I'll call you if anything happens."

Xiao Wei said, "Okay, I also have some things to take care of at home, so I won't be coming over for the next few days."

Huang asked, "What's wrong? Do you need any help?"

Xiao Wei said, "I'm going to Longcheng to pick up my parents. They'll be staying in Fengtian from now on. I've made all the arrangements, so they don't need any help."

The four people went their separate ways home.

Chen Hui's house is completely cleaned up and ready to move in. In fact, Chen Hui and Chen Xiao have already moved in with their grandson, Xiao Xiao Hui, and Chen Xiao's mother. Although Old Chen and Chen Hui's mother haven't moved, they spend most of their time there, since their eldest grandson is there. Apparently, they feel there aren't enough seats, and the four elders are discussing whether to have another child.

The next morning, Xiaowei ate breakfast and drove to Longcheng.

We drove in silence until noon, when the car pulled into the yard.

Before they arrived, everything had been arranged by phone. Xiaowei's parents had packed everything and were just waiting to leave.

The family's life has undergone tremendous changes here, and after living here for more than half a year, they have developed a strong bond. Xiaowei's mother has been treating everyone in the compound to meals these past few days, saying goodbye to each of them. However, this time she feels happy and hopeful, which is different from the last time.

"The factory will be finished by the end of October. Everyone who wants to go can go then. We've all worked here for so long, and I'm happy to get along with you all." Xiaowei's mother shook hands with several of the cafeteria ladies, and they got along very well. She was genuinely reluctant to leave.

"Won't this place be able to operate once the factory over there is up and running?" an older woman asked.

Xiaowei's mother said, "Of course we'll do it! How could we not? There are so many shops here, and a school too. But this side might be renovated next spring. The school and factory might have to be moved there first, and then moved back after it's finished. It'll take about half a year, and you'll all have to go over there then."

"You're completely renovating this yard? Wow, your family has really struck it rich! Your son is quite capable. What are you planning to build here? Will the factory still be here after it's finished?"

"I overheard something here, and it seems like they're building a row of shops, with factories inside and residences above. If you want to buy a house, just tell me, and I'll calculate the costs for you. They're all elevator buildings, so it's sure to be good," Xiaowei's mother promised with a touch of pride.

The young soldier squatted to one side, looking rather sullen, scribbling on the ground with a stick. Xie Xiaolong teased him, "Aren't you happy about moving to Fengtian? Do you have someone here?"

The soldier rolled his eyes and said, "You're the one who has a girlfriend, what do you need that thing for? You can't eat it."

Xie Xiaolong said, "Then why are you unhappy?"

Xiaobing sighed and said, "I just got to know Xiao Wu and his friends well, and before I could even show off in front of my classmates, I have to leave. I'm so sad."

The big iron gate wasn't closed today, and as soon as Xiao Wei's car entered the yard, he saw a group of people gathered there.

After parking the car, Xiaowei got out and walked over. Everyone greeted him, and Xiaowei smiled and responded. Xie Xiaolong said, "Should I wait a little longer or go with you?"

Xiao Wei said, "The building over there is still being finished. If you go now, you'll have to stay at the guesthouse for a few days first. Is that okay? If it is, you can come with me. You can help with the arrangements at the factory. But it's okay if it's a few days later, no rush."

Xie Xiaolong said, "Then let's go together. There's nothing to do here anyway. Sister Shang is capable now and doesn't need me anymore." Sister Shang just smiled and didn't reply.

After Xiaowei finished his walk around the school, the truck arranged by the power company arrived. Everyone worked together to load the things they needed to take onto the truck. Xiaowei gave the truck driver two packs of cigarettes and 100 yuan, thinking that he couldn't let the driver make a wasted trip of more than ten hours.

The truck departed, and Xiaowei drove to the pig farm to take a look. He chatted with Lao An and his wife for a while, then went to the restaurant and cake shop, and checked out the house under renovation. This place was also nearing completion, and it was estimated that it would be able to open before the first snow. Xiao Liwen was full of fighting spirit and urged Xiaowei to send the machine over as soon as possible.

The staff, Li Wenhe, has been trained to a near-complete degree. He is not in a hurry to go to Fengtian and will continue to provide guidance for a period of time after the store opens.
